Assessing Opportunities in Owned

Digital Media

COURSE OVERVIEW

Marketing within your own digital properties—such as your organization’s website, blog or social media pages—is an effective way to build deeper relationships with existing customers and attract the attention of new ones.

This course covers the unique opportunities of “owned media” and how those differ from “paid media”. You will learn more about content marketing, search engine optimization, social media “fan pages”, mobile apps, and virtual reality apps and assess the relevancy of owned media initiatives for your own marketing objectives. By the end of this course, you will have a plan outlining a strategy for your own potential use of these channels.

Note: This course assumes that you have completed LSM515, or alternatively, are familiar with “customer funnel” and “customer journey” marketing models.

How It Works

Course Author

Assistant Professor of Marketing, Johnson Graduate School of Management, Cornell University

Professor Clarence Lee is an assistant professor at the Johnson Graduate School of Management, where he is a Breazzano Family Sesquicentennial Fellow. Professor Lee’s research examines the drivers behind consumer adoption, usage, and purchase dynamics of digital goods, where he models consumer behavior using Bayesian statistics, structural econometrics, and machine learning techniques. Digital products and platforms, such as the ones produced by many Silicon Valley and NYC tech start-ups, are increasingly present in almost all consumer interactions. In such settings, understanding consumer choice and the dynamics of engagement and usage become critically important in order to acquire, serve, and retain consumers. He currently teaches Digital Marketing and Data Analytics & Modeling at both the Ithaca and Cornell Tech campuses.

Professor Lee received his doctorate from Harvard Business School and holds undergraduate and graduate degrees in electrical engineering and computer science from MIT. Prior to pursuing graduate studies, he has conducted nanotechnology research at IBM and space system design at MIT Lincoln Laboratory.
